George Thorogood Plus Support

Thorogood and his band the Destroyers fought their way to the top. They came out of Delaware in the ‘70s as a jarringly high-energy bunch whose raucous, slide guitar-stoked, blues-rock takes on tunes by Chuck Berry, Elmore James, Bo Diddley and others, helped land them a record contract.

Further fame came in the ’80s through a series of gold records by the band, including Thorogood’s best-known hit, Bad to the Bone. New album Hard Stuff keeps the faith with covers of tracks by John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and Fats Domino.
